While the space right in front of Schembechler Hall may be a bit crowded with a statue of the building's namesake, U-M director of recruiting Matt Dudek suggested it go right on Stadium Blvd., across from Ann Arbor Pioneer High School and in front of Michigan Stadium.

Jim Harbaugh then suggested in the tunnel at the Big House.

"I think we can all agree now, Tom Brady ... he's lapped the field in football," he added. "You're synonymous now with Babe Ruth, with Michael Jordan. The university he attended should build a statue."

Not to say Brady had a game-changing career at Michigan. His college career is probably most remembered for the battle for the starter's spot with Drew Henson.

Back in 2016, Harbaugh's first season back in Ann Arbor, Brady was brought in as an honorary captain for U-M's win over Hawaii while he served his four-game suspension for the Deflategate situation. Earlier that year, he participated in Harbaugh's "Signing of the Stars" on National Signing Day.

If you look at a place like Michigan State, they have a statue of Magic Johnson in front of Breslin Center. Sure, he's remembered more for his time with L.A. Lakers, but he did win the national championship 40 years ago at MSU.
